A wedding service was held in the Baptist Church Mt. Upton Sunday evening at 6:30.  The parties were Mr. Gilbert Palmer and Miss Ella Marsh.  The bridesmaids and grooms were, S. Merriman and Mary Ainsworth, E.G. Freeman and Rosa Palmer. The ceremony was quite impressively performed by Rev. L.J. Bailey, the church was beautifully trimmed with evergreens and flowers, and an arch with the traditional marriage bell, under which the happy pair stood.  The bride was arranged in a rich dress of Irish poplin, trimmed with brown silk, and was the picture of health and beauty.  May their bark shun all the shoals and rocks, and upon which so many fair barks have been wrecked.  An interesting discourse was afterwards delivered by Rev. I.J. Bailey from Rev. 19.7, "For the marriage of the Lamb is come and his wife hath made hers all ready." etc.  [Bainbridge Republican, cot. 25, 1877]
